Zoo touts 6 baby beavers

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium has some new residents. Officials on Thursday introduced the public to six baby North American beavers.

A Pittsburgh TV news station reported the beavers, known as kits, were born to mother, Alice, and father, Patch. They were named in conjunction with the Busy Beaver Building Centers, which sponsors the beaver exhibit.

The kits have teeth and can begin swimming on the day that they're born.
